At age ten, I was first introduced to computer graphics.  It was very simplistic by today's standards, but I was intrigued!  Ever since, I've been hooked.

My first computerized illustrations would only display on the screen as black & white line drawings.  To see it in color, it had to be "sent-out" to be rendered and output!

Specific Duties:

  • Concept Designs
  • Schematics
  • Pen & Ink
  • Fantasy Illustrations
  • Graphic Design
  • Custom Decals
  • T-Shirt Artwork
  • Tributes

Although I would not consider myself an illustrator, I do enjoy picking up a pencil or pen and sketching an image now and again.  I have acquired a true appreciation for people with the skills and artistry to "draw", as a profession.  I find working with traditional art mediums to be not only relaxing, but also very rewarding.
